ElixirOffice desktop 0.2.4 (beta)

ElixirOffice desktop 0.2.4

ElixirOffice 0.2.4 is an urgent fix for saving documents on Windows, with three small interface fixes. Everything in the 0.2.3 release is included.

Fixed

• Windows saving. Saving no longer fails, or shows an error for a document that was in fact saved, when antivirus software or another program briefly holds the document or its backup copy. Every step on the existing file is retried within a short limit, and a leftover backup copy that is locked no longer turns a successful save into an error: it is cleaned up at the next save or when you quit. If the file really cannot be replaced, the message now says that your edits stay open and that you can use Save As with a new name. #8, #12
• Diagnostics for save problems. A small local log records which step failed and the error code (no file names, folders or document content). The save error message has a "Copy diagnostics" action so you can paste it into a bug report. Nothing is sent automatically.
• Quick Access toolbar buttons (Save, Undo, Redo) are clearly visible in the Classic Light theme. #13
• Page shadow no longer gets darker as you type or after reopening a document. #13
• Printing: the small "Waiting for your choice" status panel is hidden while the system print dialog is open (screen readers are still told).

Security

• No change to the converter hardening of 0.2.2. A DOCX archive that contains a path-escaping member is still cleaned (that member is ignored and never written) rather than rejected; strict rejection is planned.

Known limitations

• The zoom slider can still overlap the plus button in the spreadsheet and presentation editors (#2); system fonts can be missing on some Linux setups (#9).
• The Windows saving fix is verified with automated tests that simulate locked files; it has not yet been confirmed on every Windows setup (antivirus, synchronized folders, network shares). If saving still fails, please use "Copy diagnostics" and attach the text to the issue.
• Limitations of 0.2.2 and 0.2.3 still apply: one document window at a time (#7), unsigned installers (the macOS package is Apple Silicon only, ad-hoc signed and not notarized), local PDF editing remains limited.

Verification

Final build 10 from product 4b494775f8e2 and DocumentServer 5a56689a150f. Linux and Windows package and identity/resource audits are recorded in BUILD-INFO.json. The selected converter runtimes are unchanged from 0.2.2. The final macOS arm64 package passed the maintained identity, exact-source, resource, hdiutil, deep strict ad-hoc codesign and complete DMG application comparison audits. It is ad-hoc signed and not notarized; final10 native GUI and print checks were not rerun. The owner must test Windows saving with this build10 installer before publication; earlier RC7 printing results are historical evidence and were not repeated for this changed application source. Physical-printer and broader final native GUI checks remain unverified; browser PDF reorder was not rerun. Debian package and fresh isolated Ubuntu 26.04 installation/permission-repair checks passed. Actual production CSS/header-icon and SDK page-shadow bundle checks passed, including exact compiled bytes in the packaged copies.

Mac native printing carries the owner’s RC7 PASS result by the lead’s release decision; it was not rerun on final10. Owner acceptance of saving with this final10 Windows installer is still pending before publication.
